Sound familiar?

01

The Dinner Dilemma

"What should I make for dinner?" You ask yourself this 365 times a year. You stare at the fridge. Nothing inspires you. The kids are already whining. You default to nuggets... again.

02

Picky Eater Battles

You spent 45 minutes making a nutritious meal. They took one look and said "I don't like it." Now it's a standoff. Tears. Negotiating. Bargaining with dessert. Every. Single. Night.

03

Wasted Food, Wasted Money

Those vegetables you bought with good intentions? Rotting in the back of the fridge. That meat you forgot about? Expired. You're throwing away money every week because you can't keep track.

04

The Screen Time Spiral

"Mom, I'm bored!" You hand them the iPad because you need 5 minutes of peace. That was 2 hours ago. The guilt is real. But what else are they supposed to do?

05

Decision Fatigue

What to cook. What activities to do. What's age-appropriate. What they'll actually eat. What you have ingredients for. Your brain is FRIED from making 1000 tiny decisions every day.

06

No Time, No Energy

Between work, school runs, and keeping tiny humans alive, you have zero bandwidth left for creative meal planning or Pinterest-worthy activities. You're surviving, not thriving.
